Once breakfast was eaten and everyone was washed and dressed ready for the day ahead. Anon and the girls decided to head over to Sweet Apple Acres to get started on the counter spell. As they walked down towards Applejack's farm Sunset stayed close to Anon but So did Fluttershy, he could feel things were going to get complicated very soon. But no one noticed of course they were all too engrossed in discussions about either their jobs, hobbies or the battle of bands and defeating the dazzling's. The only who did notice was Twilight of course. She Pulled Sunset a side as they walked to talk to her and so that no one else got suspicious or any idea's. But little did they know that pinkie saw this all thanks to her pinkie sense only making her make more curious but she didn't want to say anything she wanted to watch it play out.

"Im sorry about this morning. I shouldn't of accused you like that." Twilight apologises feeling regret for her actions against Sunset. She knew how hard it was try to prove to everyone that she has changed, she didn't need to make her worse by presuming the worse.

"Its okay, None taken. I Probably would of done the same." Sunset smiles keeping it a polite front, not wanting to show how sad she actual was.

"But still it wasn't right of me. I should be better then that, im the Princess of Friendship for Celestia sake!" Twilight hanged her low Annoyed with her self

Sunset sighed as now the conversation had turned into something all about her. Again. As most conversations went with her it always got turned on to the other person. But it wasn't like this With Anon he cared about her and always asked how her day went, he always cared, which gave her the power to care for others. "Not everyone's perfect Twilight and you shouldn't be either." Sunset smiles giving Twilight a playful punch on the shoulder.

Twilight smiles and lightly giggles at Sunset "Thank you for forgiving me Sunset."

"Call me Sunny. All my friends do." Sunset gives twilight a wink and shoulder barge.

Twilight blushes and smiles wider "Only if you call me Twi."

"Deal." Having had Twilight mention Celestia, she couldn't hope but wonder if her former teacher ever talks about her. "Hey Twi?"

"Mmm?"

"Does Celestia... ya know, ever mention me?" She asks cagily not wanting to appear clingy like she hadn't let go.

Twilight frowns at the question she knew this was sensitive topic, but she had to be honest. Its what Sunset deserved. "No I don't think she does."

Sunset sighs as she knew it was to much to ask and hope for. "Guess she's too busy protecting Equestria. To care about me." Sunset Whispers the last part to her self feel low.

Twilight didn't know what else to say with out making her feel any worse. So she kept quite as they all walked up to Sweet Apple Acres. A few minutes later they had reached the farm and Twilights nerves were getting to her with every step she took. The song she had wrote was meant to beat the Dazzlings and she had no faith in it. she could tell it was going to suck but she had no other alternatives everyone was counting on her and she couldn't let anyone down. Applejack headed off inside to let Granny Smith know she was home and to ask for one of the barns so the Rainbooms could practice in private. Having had the go ahead Everyone went home to grab their instruments except for Anon, Sunset and Twilight who instead went for a walk around the Apple orchards letting spring breeze flow around them. Twilight took this moment of opportunity to flood the both of them with questions.

"So becoming a Vampire what was that like?" Twilight asks out of the blue almost making Anon choke on the apple he had just taken from the orchard.

Having coughed up all the bits of apple, Anon Wipes his mouth ready to talk. "Just gonna go straight for eh. No subtlety or beating around the bush just straight up ask."

"Sorry I thought getting straight to it would cut the awkward tension." Twilight explained.

"Well, it certainly worked." Sunset giggled at his antics.

They find a hill to sit down on as Anon a tells his story "Honestly, It was cold. I could feel the life draining from my body moment by moment as the poison infected my bloodstream. I felt colder and weaker as I transformed I felt as though I couldn't even move. Soon Everything faded to black and I died only to wake up a day later a corpse." He recalls happily as thought back to that day, the best day of his life.

Twilight was blown a way by the story she could believe what she was hearing neither could Sunset for that matter. They had never really talked about it, as she thought it was something that upset him. But seeing him Tell the story with such joy and happiness was odd to say the least. Saying that though it didn't change her thoughts about him, he was still the only boy for her even if he was dead. That was the oddest thought sunset had ever thought it even made her chuckle slightly.

"Wasn't you scared?" Twilight asks confused.

"No. I actually I wasn't. I had Fluttershy, her strength allowed me to go through with it. I trusted her completely and I love her with all of my heart." Anon Admits. Sunset sighs clearly feeling jealous and left out. Anon scoots over to the bacon haired girl bringing a finger under her chin getting her to look up at him. "Love you too. I know its hard feeling like your compete with Fluttershy. But listen when I say your not. My heart belongs to both of you, sure its a dead vampires heart. but its yours." Anon leans in as thy begin to start kissing passionately. They soon stop when they hear Twilight coughing loudly reminding them that she was still there.

"Sorry Twilight." The couple pull away from each other blushing madly.

"So Fluttershy explained to me the whole vampire relationship thing. Does this mean your one too?" Twilight looks to Sunset as Anon starts to sweat.

"Er... No. Im still alive. Last time I checked." Sunset jokes as her mind slowly started to run off on the thought of it.

"So, do you girls wanna see what my true form looks like?" Anon suggests quickly cutting off that run of conversation before it could go any further. The girls looked at each other Anxious, a little worried to see what might actually look like. But curiosity over took worry as they nodded in agreement. Anon sat cross-legged as sunset scooted back away to give him space. He closed his eyes and held his breath as the magic vail was lifted off revealing a darker greyer looking Anon, dressed in his black Victorian suit complete with black leather jacket.

Wow, was all the girls could muster seeing his true form for the first time. It was also the first time that Anon actually looked threating but with a hint of his caring nature following through. It didn't last long as Anon closed his eyes and mutter the spell bringing back the vail. As much as it was nice to just be him he couldn't risk getting caught by the others. "Well?"

The girls were silent for a minute before recollecting their thoughts. Twilight looks to Sunset for help but she seemed completely out of sorts by the whole thing, which confused her more. "Its er... bit of a shock, but its a nice look for you." Twilight says hoping that's best response she could give.

"Thanks Twi, That means a lot." Anon smiles before looking over at sunset who hasn't even said a word yet. "Sunset? What did you think?"

There was no reply and Anon was starting to worry, but it didn't last long as she finally opened her mouth to speak. "I thought you looked Beautiful, you looked like my Anon."

But before any more could be said, Rainbow dash came running up to the trio seeming out of breath. Once the athlete had finally reached them she placed her hands on her knees catching her breath. "Everyone's... Waiting... For you." Rainbow said through shortness of breath. That caused everyone to stand up and start walking back to the farmhouse. As they walked back Rainbow turned to face the Sunset, "Did you have to walk so far away?"

Having reached the barn that Granny Smith had so kindly let them use. They got setup and ready to practice Twilights counter spell with Spike Sunset and Anon watching and waiting on the side lines. Once everything was connected and Everyone was ready the band began to play, Twilights counter spell. they practice time and time again but each practice worse then the last time. It was the worse thing that they had ever heard the band play as Anon Sunset and Spike covered their ears. Suddenly the speaker flares letting of loud sharp tune causing Sunset to turn it down. Anon watches, cringing at the Rainbooms as they try to perform, he see Fluttershy try to get into the song only to be told off by Rainbow. Anon could of hit her right then for being mean to his girlfriend, if for the fact that he knew that she didn't care, so he shouldn't either. You could see on each of the girls that their pony ears were trying to come through but it wasn't enough to stabilize their pony versions.

"That sounded way better then the last five times you played it." Spike lied, sitting on the speaker.

Suddenly big mac walked past the window. "Nope." he honestly remarked making Spike frown

"I pretty obvious what's going wrong with this counter spell." Rainbow states confidently.

"Yeah, your turning what should be the chorus into a five minute guitar solo." Applejack rebuttals.

"Well I have to pick up the somehow, like are you guys even trying?" The athlete argues back.

"Im Trying." Fluttershy interjects shyly.

While her friends argue twilight freaks out trying to calm her self down. "Its fine, everything will be fine. Once more from the top!" Twilight exclaims punching her fist into the air.

A few seconds go by and no one says or does anything leaving Twilight in silence until Rarity speaks up. "Or.. perhaps we could take a short break." Rarity puts her Keytar down and walks forward pulling out a clothing rail full of costumes for the band. "Try on some of the wardrobe choices I put together. Im particularly fond of this one." In a spilt second Rarity had changed outfit into a pink glittery uniform style dress. "Or we could go for something a bit more modem."

Applejack frowns at the seamstress "We're trying to save our school , here. Enough with the fancy costumes."

But before they knew it Rarity was in another outfit one resembling a robot with three diamonds going across the helmet. "Ugh! You can never have enough costumes!" Rarity replies sounding robotic.

"She just wants to make things fun! Isn't that what being in a band supposed to be." Pinkie hits the drums for comedic effect.

"You don't have time for any of this!" Sunset says getting the girls attention.

"She's right. Your supposed to check in at the Battle of The Bands, in fifth teen minutes." Anon adds backing Sunset up.

But as soon as the pair had said that, the girls being to panic and start running around trying to get things sorted, Anon and Sunset helped out the best to their ability. But as everyone began to tidy up Twilight started to voice her concerns aloud. "But. But its not ready. If we play a counter spell in the first round and it doesn't work, the sirens will know what we're up to. AND THEY'LL MAKE SURE WE WONT BE ABLE TO PLAY IT AGAIN!" Twilight shouts freaking out, causing everyone to stop and look at her.

"Then we'll have buy us some time, so you can keep working on it." Applejack announces.

"And how do you propose we do that?" Rarity asks

"You guys enter into the battle of the bands for real. Rainbow takes over lead vocalist and you stay you stay alive until the finals. Then you unleash the counter spell by then." Everyone looked at each other and agreed in unison. "You'll have it done by then right?" Anon ask making sure.

"Of course she will. Twilight Sparkle hasn't met a problem she couldn't solve." Spike says patting her foot before looking up at her. "Right Twilight?"

"Right." Twilight agrees sounding a bit shaking.

Hearing the Princess agree, Anon and the rest of the girls finish packing the rest of the equipment into Applejacks truck. Applejack was about to get in the driver seat before Anon takes the keys off of her "What, the hell you think your playing at Anon. Give me back keys."

"Not this time AJ we need to get to school Quickly. Im driving." Anon opens the car and gets in the drivers seat with the rest of the girls getting in the back and Fluttershy taking the seat next to him.

"Like hell you are. This is my car im driving." The farm girls argues standing her ground.

"Im sorry but im with Anon on this one. We need to get there quickly. Not slowly. " Rainbow dash adds giving Applejack a dry look.

"Just because im safe doesn't mean he gets to drive my car." Applejack frowns placing her hands on her hips.

"Darling right Anon is who we need driving and your just wasting more time." Rarity chimes in

"Just get in." Sunset adds.

"Fine, fine. At least let me sit in front." Applejack bargains to which Fluttershy nods happily, while actually being annoyed at the fact she cant sit next to her boyfriend and gets in the back sitting next to Pinkie.

Applejack gets in the car and buckles up her seatbelt. As anon starts the car he looks over at the farm girl annoyed. " Happy now?"

"No." Applejack reply's bluntly, causing Anon to roll his eyes. The engine starts and Anon drives off back to Canterlot High to stop the Sirens.
